[@seandennis7611]

This is pretty decent overall. I did a similar build but with a mid drive kit so I can go up hills (a mountain) without eventually burning up the hub motor and ride with even less parasitic drag. A hardtail so there would be space for a battery pack in the middle. Think that if you fall forward the family jewels could take a pretty rough hit maybe put a cushion on there if you actually are going to use it. Secondly depending on battery and where you are charging it can be nice to be able to detach the battery I charge mine in my fireplace because im a bit paranoid.

I agree with you

[@Supercorndog946]

You guys are so creative. I love watching you building things.

[@ELECTRICBIKEDIYLIFE]

One thing I'd recommend on that is to put at least one torque arm on the front fork. That fork's kind of weak for that power of motor and that axle is likely to spin out of the dropouts. Also that fork wasn't designed to have a disk brake caliper attached to it so there's a good possibility that repeated use of the front brake will eventually bend or break the fork. There's at least 20+ e-bikes that can compete against the Hyper Scrambler.

[@ChayDenne]

thats a really good idea!

[@aaron092000]

​@@ChayDenne sick video! You should do a collab with e-bike guy and get that 100mph ebike built! 🎉🎉 I'd your stuck on what parts let me know!

[@johngavina1]

I was just about to say the same. Without a torque arm the very torque of the motor can actually loosen your wheel nuts. I have two on my trike build.

I just scored a freebie Marin east peak FRS full suspension mountain bike with a really rusty chain, flat tires and bent drop off (derailluer), but Marin bikes have a special feature to protect the frame from bending when you wack the drop off-a kind of breakaway part or something. . . might just need to tighten a bolt. It's Ninties bike which seems like it has low miles. Unfortunately this model year does not have disc brakes. I am going to be watching a lot of these build videos, meanwhile I am going to buy a new chain, clean it up and ride it as a regular bike for a while. ***you need to primer metal with special bare metal primer before painting.

Mid-drive motor peaks at 4500w peak with 250N.m of torque. I've test ridden it once at their HQ in Austin, TX and recently at Electrify Expo in Austin the bike is a beast. I can't wait for them to start shipping which should be in end of December/early January.

​@@AnandaDaCosta the kits at the time 36v 26 inch just over $200 ebay/Amazon. The batteries are second life (from rental scooters) $100ish "shorty r5" with charger from jeg35. Mounted them on rear racks. They have rim brakes and bought the best pads I could find.

[@Automobilewhisperer-j4n]

Argentina is a weird country. The bike you started with is considered a good bike and would have a minimum price of usd 200. The motor/controller/battery kit would be around usd 1300.

[@JRE2540]

I can't stop watching these videos because they're so entertaining, including this one! You did a phenomenal job making that electric bike for $500!

[@maxheadroom1506]

where are your torque arms for the front hub. A 1000W motor will rip out of the fork (acting like an impact wrench)without torque arms after constant use. I know because it happened to me. The tires need to be ebike ready to minimize wear from a hub motor. This will price your bike out of the $500 range. Also your battery being riveted is not easily replaceable and you have significantly weakened the MTB frame by cutting it and not replacing with a stabilizing tube of metal. It would have been better to assemble your own battery into a custom shape or add a battery onto a bike rack rear or front. A Bafang mid drive kit 750Watts would have been a better option for that bike frame. The brake change although being a nice upgrade is not necessary and they do sell mounts for bike frames that can not handle disc brakes. As others have said you could have just bought an ebike for $500 with that range and not have to deal with the labour in the conversion. People here who could not weld or have the equipment would have to outsource this raising the cost of this conversion. You made a youtube video for ebike conversion of which there are hundreds of on youtube but in the big picture this is not a success or spectacular result for the ebike. If you want to make a profit buy a walmart tandem bike and convert it to an ebike then sell it for a profit. Tandem ekikes sell $4000-$18000, not that is a healthy profit margin and a good video. p.s pedaling a middrive uphill is a lot easier than a hub motor drive and you don't need 1000W in the motor to do it since you have the low gears in the bike.

You should have told people if they install front motor you need to have steel forks and torque arms otherwise the forks will snap and throw you off as it happened to me at 30mph luckily i was ok not hurt anything but learnt my lesson quickly was my 1st ebike but now i ALWAYS use back motor stay safe guys 👍👍

[@dennisboscodemello2123]

Sir I have a bought a normal trike, i have never ridden a cycle due to balancing issues, I want to convert it into electric but installing in rear wheel is double the price than Front wheel.

Be very careful with using a front motor because the forks are not designed to have that extra stress on them.
